Pandora continues its partnership with UNICEF this month to help more than 10 million children and young people access education, self-expression, and employment opportunities.
Today, globally, 22% of 15-24 year-olds lack work, learning, or training opportunities. Of these, 68% are girls and young women. Since 2019, Pandora's Charms for Change initiative has supported UNICEF's work to ensure every child not only survives, but thrives.
One key area of focus is improving access to quality learning opportunities, including projects using the "Upshift" approach to empower youth and adolescents to become confident social entrepreneurs.
Local UNICEF projects are seeing the benefits of Upshift programs, such as the Dreamcatcher program in Guatemala, which helps hard-to-reach young people, including indigenous and rural people, return to school and develop the skills they need to realize their aspirations for the future. Students benefit from the program's secondary education support as well as practical internships.
"Since 2019, Pandora has proudly supported UNICEF's youth empowerment efforts, funding learning opportunities and skills development, as well as human rights and gender equality work in several countries around the world," said Marissa Saretsky, Pandora's Sustainability Officer. "The UNICEF Dreamcatcher Programme in Guatemala is giving both girls and boys the opportunity to receive an essential secondary education."
To support the positive dreams and hopes of children and young people, Pandora has adapted an existing charm into the Dreamcatcher charm. The Dreamcatcher charm is a new, limited-edition charm featuring blue accents.
The dreamcatcher is a symbolic amulet that originates from Native American and indigenous communities. It is said to protect against bad dreams by ensuring only good dreams.
For each charm sold, Pandora donates 15 euros of the purchase price to UNICEF. By making these donations, Pandora customers are making a tangible difference by supporting UNICEF's work to empower vulnerable children and young people, including indigenous and rural communities, to reach their full potential. These donations also help fund essentials like school supplies to help the next generation learn.
